Hints of fog in the air

My wife tells me that at just before six AM,  we were very foggy.  I am glad that I missed that.

A couple of hours later when I wandered out for the newspaper, there were hints of the fog still floating in the air.

There was more than a hint of coolness in the air this morning.  We were down to 51F.  I will be curious to see if the water temperature takes another dive.

It looks like we will get our first taste of the thirties this Friday night.  I might have to cover my tomato plants.  My plants have a number of green tomatoes on them.  There is one tomato that should be ready to pick today.  That will be the third tomato off of the plants that I put in the ground on August 22.

The moon was still hanging just below a branch of one of the big pine trees this morning.  It was one of those special Crystal coast mornings where you have to search for clouds.

I am guessing we will see high tides again today.  Yesterday, the waters surrounded my small cedar tree and started approaching my banana tree.  The cedar does not seem to care, but I lost a banana tree to salt water last year.

The tides were as high as I have seen them this year.  They actually got to within a foot or so of the top of our dock.

According to my tide information they should drop very slightly.  Yesterday I would have been very easy to launch my kayak.  The grassy area that I use was almost all under water.

High tide here on the river should come by 11 AM.

Looks like a great day, I might even get some time on the water.  I would certainly like to catch this evening's sunset. I can hope it was as nice as last nights.
